Shinty: Kyles get campaign off to winning start

Camanachd Cup holders Kyles hope to learn the lessons of 2012 to mount another trophy assault.

The Tighnabruaich outfit got their new shinty campaign off to a solid start with a 3-1 win over Oban Camanachd. Scottish internatinalist Robbie MacLeod said: “We dropped a lot of points at the start last year and that hit us at the end so we are looking to get a better start this time to give ourselves a chance.”

Dunkie Kerr, Roddy MacDonald and Ewen Campbell were on the mark for Kyles with Scott McMillan grabbing a counter for Oban.

Newtonmore saw off Glen Urquhart 3-2 while Kingussie snatched the points with a 4-2 away win over Kinlochshiel.
